very true, but at 35 mph, If you asked me, I would have bet money a dog would make a dent. Of course the angle and everything else played into that.

yikes!!!DLF said:I just wrecked my 2001 325xi w/SSR Competitions a month ago, CD-55! That pic of yours looks TOO similar, man.
Insurance says mine is a total (though it took a month to get there). I'm sure yours is too, hence the new-car order....

did your's look like this?
Emission said:Not to jack this post, but did you know one major difference between cast wheels and forged? It has to do with what happens affer an inpact: Cast wheels shatter, and forged wheels bend.
In theory, a high speed impact with a cast wheel will result in instant air loss, while the same impact with a forged wheel can result in just a slow loss of pressure - allowing control as the car is brought to a stop.
Just an interesting comment...
Soup Nazi said:OUCH CD-55! Wow! At least you learned from it, too bad you learned with such an expensive car! Your rates affected much?
CD-55 said:
I expect I will lose my accident free discount.
CD-55 said:The SSR's sure are light... I thought they were forged, but they shattered. What gives?:dunno:

I think that if you change Emission's wording a little, you'll get "cast tend to shatter and forged tend to bend" Bets are off in any specific real world incident though.
